The barrels distract from an otherwise nice image.  Perhaps more of a ground surface, even if it's only fluffy clouds.

From loomsbury@yahoo.com:
Beautiful.  I really like the way this looks.  Modeling could have used some more detail, but the image mapping makes it look complete anyway.  The layout and look of the buildings is kind of confusing though.  Also, is it just me, or do the transports/planes/whatever those are, look like the creature in the episode "Galaxy's Child" of Star Trek TNG?  Please, tell me how to do lens flares in 3ds max, I still haven't been able to find the feature.

Good detail in the city.  I have a hard time ssing how the background connects to the foreground.  The yellow floaties are a little odd.  Spaceships?  The bright flare in the middle is a little distracting.

From scarmig@ohmss.com:
Artistically beautiful, technically what I would except from the software.  A really nice conceptualization.

From tony@j4tb.com:
Wow! This image has rendered me speechless. (Or Typeless.) I really like the lighting effects everything is in scale. This image is nearly perfect! Its got my technical merit vote. The only thing I could see for improvment is a little texture on the water.

From jd@surveyor.in-berlin.de:
The disk platforms remind me a bit of "Out of the Blue"...
damned, the whole picture does it, but some of the ...objects...
mainly in the background are disturbing, giving the image a
"constructed" touch.

From Stickgod01@aol.com:
Nicely done. Nice work with the scaffolding type stuff.

From kantell@qup.com:
Awesome...  the best thing about this is the effective use of color.

From marlo.steed@uleth.ca:

Nice work... the detail is good... can't quite figure out the section down below is that a reflection or a continuation of the buildings... why are they more hazed out than the top part? or is my depth perception wacked out.

From mwsny001@mweb.co.za:
Brilliant! A beautiful image. The only criticism I got is that all the 
vehicles/spaceships look exactly the same. It could be that they sell only 
one model in the future, but I think it might have been better if they were 
a bit different.

From tom@tomandlu.force9.co.uk:
I loved this. Lacks depth is the only problem I had.

From StephenF@whoever.com:
This is beautiful... good use of lighting and colors.  I 
can't see anything major to criticize here, but in the 
spirit of nitpicking, there is a slight bit of angularity on 
the curves of the pipes in the lower right corner, as well 
as the translucent yellow torus in the center of the 
picture.  Again, truly beautiful.

From tonyv@iafrica.com:
Beautiful colours. Wonderful attention to detail. And I really don't like Sci-Fi.

=====
From mar@physics.usyd.edu.au:
A beautifully detailed image with interesting colours and lighting. There
is a bit of hustle and bustle but it doesn't fully come across as a place
where people live and work, which is the essence of the city.
